I asked for their stories and this is what they told me. I can't guarantee they're the truth, you will have to ask Takeuchi Naoko, to whom they belong to.
A rough morning
"Sit down and be quiet, both of you." Ikuko glared at the bickering children now sitting on opposite sides of the couch. Reaching down, she blindly pulled a video off the children's shelf, her eyes never left the now silent children. "If I hear one more word of out you two, be it nice or mean, you will spend the next two hours in your bedrooms."
Shingo and Usagi cringed back into the couch. Mama looked mad enough to spit nails.
Shoving the video into the player, Ikuko turned on the TV and headed for the kitchen.
Slumping against the wall, she gazed at the breakfast dishes that still littered the table. 'They started early this morning.' She pushed off the wall and started on her morning clean up.
By time she finished the breakfast clean up and had a cake in the oven, she headed for the living room. She hadn't heard a peep from them and it was starting to worry her. Looking in she saw them both curled up on the couch, their eyes wide as they stared at the screen. Their fear was palpable. 'What video did I put in? It was from the children's shelf, it should have been safe.' Her eyes flew to the screen. On it a big cat like creature was racing across it with a little girl inside of it. She didn't recognize it. Shutting it off quickly, she grabbed the case. There was two small gasps and the spinning of children on the couch.
"Mama! No! Please let us finish it." Usagi's hand flew to her mouth as soon as the words left it. Her eyes wide as she waited to be told to head to her room.
Shingo bit his lip so he wouldn't speak, but his eyes spoke volumes.
Ikuko looked at the case in her hand. 'It's the new one we bought yesterday. It is supposed to be kid friendly.' Looking at her pleading children, she needed some answers. "You were scared. Usagi, what was scary?"
"Mae ran away..she didn't mean to run away, she was trying to go to her mama I'm sure, but she is missing and Satsuki and Grandma are looking for her. It is getting really late... Satsuki asked Totoro to help her find her. She's got to find Mae... Mama can we please see if she finds her? Please?"
Ikuko looked at Shingo's pleading face and back to Usagi's. It was the first time that morning they had agreed on anything. Nodding her head, she turned it back on. As she settled onto the couch between them to watch the end, Usagi frowned at her.
"You can't watch the end before you see the beginning, Mama."
Ikuko smiled. "But you told me what happened, so I can."
Shingo frowned at her. "Mama!"
"Okay then..." Ikuko stopped the video and grinned at the collective gasps beside her. "... I'll just have to start it over again."
As two small bodies snuggled into her, she decided that the morning was definitely improving.
